Taylor Apostol
Marble & clay sculpture · Newton, MA
Taylor Apostol is a sculptor based in Newton, Massachusetts, who works in marble and clay. She joined Manchester AIR at The Factory on Willow in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the Winter 2023 session.
Background
Born in Washington, D.C., Apostol spent her formative years in Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and the suburbs of Philadelphia. She earned her BA in Studio Art from the University of Vermont and her MFA in Sculpture from Boston University.
About the work
Apostol’s painted and flocked sculptures explore memory, place and belonging. Carving marble directly and hand-building terra cotta, she adds pigment, ink, wax, flocking and metal leaf to create objects that feel at once ancient and domestic. Recent works stack everyday things, such as dishes, clothes and souvenirs of a day trip, into sculptural piles that function as portraits of the people and places they come from.
